Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 to 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water. Add the cornmeal, milk powder, butter, sugar, salt, 1-1/4 cups flour and remaining water. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° F for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
